   Hi there, I am currently trying to get a 3 loop system working on my theme.

   I am getting a few problems.

   This is how I want it:

   Home Page:
   Loop 1
   - Featured post, 1 Post (from Featured Category only)

   Loop 2
   - Latest Posts, 4 Posts (All remaining posts except Featured and Resources cat)

   Loop 3
   - Latest Resources, 4 Posts (from Resources Category only)

   Here is my Loops:

   [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

   The problem I am getting is the 3rd loop is showing posts from the resources category BUT the 2nd loop is also showing the resources posts I need the 2nd post to not duplicate either 1st or 2nd loop.

   If that make sense? lol

   Hope someone can help, thanks.

   George

   In the first 2 loops, add the ID of the current post to an array, something like this (UNTESTED):

   $seen = array(); // Put this before the first loop

   Use code like this to add the current post ID to the array:

   if (have_posts()) {
      while (have_posts()) {
         the_post();
         $seen[] = $post->ID;

   Then, in the third loop, add the post_not_in argument with the IDs:

   $args = array(
      'cat' = 44,  // the category id of Resources
      // add your other arguments here
   );
   $ids = implode(',',$seen);
   if ($ids) $args['post_not_in'] = $ids;
   query_posts($args);
